No wonder so long no one review here, think carefully before booking, if u go alone can take the risk. Family think twice, especially during festive season. Mine got cancel due to Christmas season, they told me overbooked.

Hi there if you're travelling with family ss Pencil Hostel is a great choice. Ms Jin is the owner and very friendly and does speaks English. My first impression when I got there I was surprised to see the reception area-looking dull and no artistry touch...the stairs is narrow ..i said o my (it is in winter everything looks dull I guess)....BUT...when Jin took me to my room.....it was 360° turn...the room is cozy ..warm and spacious. Jin provides washing machine,a hood ,an induction stove whatever u call it ,a sink ,some kitchen utensils for cooking and serving...o my...and set of cabinet for storage...o my...I felt like at home.......so what are u waiting for...call Jin shell be there!!!!!
